Harvest
Neil Young
this was a pretty low vibrational experience for me because I had to listen on YouTube music on a mobile browser, sucked, also I was having a terrible day
sorry to neil for not giving this album a second chance while I was cooking my mung beans but I would have had to keep my phone screen on so the music wouldn't pause which is dumb as fuck. the 3 or 4 songs I listened to were alright but I really like Crosby stills Nash and young, and this album was nowhere near as good as their music to me

Bat Out Of Hell
Meat Loaf
this album is conjuring smells from a buffet I ate at as a child. meat loaf is an appropriate name for this act. the cover is sick as fuck and I don't think it matches the music
I liked bat out of hell but I don't think it needs to be ten minutes long. the fact this album has 9 songs and is an hour long is insane, also 2 are unplayable so I think it may actually be longer.

First Band On The Moon
The Cardigans
I'm into this, I think they have some cool elements that balance the sugary poppyness and their Spotify says that there's 2 metal guitarists in the band which shows a little in heartbreaker which may be my favorite. the horn solo is cool

GODDDDDDDDDD this is so good

I love the backing vocals and the songwriting. really good work vibe. favorite track in first listen was won't you give him (one more chance) and my least was cant nobody love you just because I'm so used to the zombies version

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
Marty Robbins
in another life it is me and my trusty horse or maybe a mule, my bedroll strapped to his side and we're outlaws roaming the entire west, posting up by a nice shady tree every sunset to make a fire and set up camp. i am going to collect nuts and berries and shoot a rabbit or some shit with a bow and arrow, and sometimes a gun i find on some dead guy until it runs out of ammo and it's just dead weight. we are running from the law for some petty crimes and maybe also accusations of witchcraft. i'm learning how to make really good rabbit confit and jammy berries on multi-zone fires with a cast iron pan that i made myself with the help of a friendly old smith from the last town i was in (i will end up settling down to become a smith eventually for a bit before i go back out to roam and eventually die in a river where i float all the way to the ocean)
it is so funny that this guy's spotify picture is him looking like a pastor

kate bush would thrive in 2023. I think major attributes of her style have kind of circled back multiple times (there goes a tenner is reminding me of marina and the diamonds)

another mega nostalgic one. feels like 8th grade. i think 10 cent pistol might be the best song on this album
this band is just so good and I love that it's just the two of them. Dan's voice is perfect for blues

this is fine I guess I don't really like when she makes her voice all choppy. seems like maybe it was trendy in the 80s and didn't really stand the rest of time

The Gilded Palace Of Sin
The Flying Burrito Brothers
what a progressive name for a band this old. what's the genre? butt rock? that's what I thought it was going to be but this is really pleasant country, I do keep thinking they're going to be singing about weird stuff but the lyrics are just normal. strangely regular. another really fucking sick cover photo. not on this album but they originally did wild horses, I didn't realize the Sundays were covering it and I hadn't even listened to the rolling stones version. anyway I think I love them

Let's Stay Together
Al Green
this cover is so good, I love that al green is in green slime letters and the face he's making is kind of silly. this reminds me of Christmas because growing up we had a couple Christmas albums that I think he sang on. really good working music, nothing stood out super crazy which is a pro and a con. very very cozy

I didn't know this album existed before, I like the cover and it reflects the sound pretty well.
can hear some clear Beatles influence in here and it tracks that this is them at their youngest, figuring out their sound
